Indeed, the logic behind the sarcasm in this viral video is nothing short of amazing.
A brave Illinois student has gone viral after she framed a speech to her school board as a sarcastic message of gratitude thanking them for failing to push back on the state’s mask mandate.
On Tuesday, Naperville student Addison George’s speech criticized the school district and her superintendent over their disregard of students’ mental health, and the board’s apparent submission to fear.
This student is nothing short of courageous and impressive.
“Thank you for teaching me that being a morally superior person only requires that I cover my face for 8 hours a day. And that the most morally superior people wear two masks or even three masks.”

Read the FULL Transcript of Addison George’s amazing speech:
Hi, I’m Addison George and I’m here to say thank you.
Thank you school board and Superintendent Bridges for not using your power to push back on the State of Illinois about the mask mandate. We get to wear masks all day every day now; isn’t that great?
Thank you for forcing me to wear a mask so I no longer have to brush my teeth, or wash my face. Seriously, my life is so much easier.
I don’t wear glasses, but if I did I would thank you for concealing my eyes with the fog from my breath, too.
Thank you for teaching students that our own mental health is much less important than making triple-vaccinated adults feel safe.
Thank you for teaching me that even the most minute risk is not worth taking. Life is best when you take the path of least resistance with no chance of failure and definitely no chance of catching a cold.
Thank you for not reaching out to the students to ask how we feel about masks, because if you did the majority of students would say that they hate masks and then you might second-guess your decision to make us wear them.
Thank you for allowing me to experience the anxiety associated with never seeing facial expressions.
Thank you for teaching us that we should never question authority, or think critically, but instead we should follow whatever the people in charge tell us to do. Obedience is best. I realize now that thinking for yourself is overrated and not really necessary when you can just make decisions based on fear.
Thank you for pushing your irrational fears and anxieties on me, because I didn’t already have enough to worry about. I realize now how easy I had it when I only had to worry about my classes, my grades, SAT and getting into college.
Thank you for teaching me that being a morally superior person only requires that I cover my face for eight hours a day, and that the most morally superior people wear two masks, or even three masks.
As you know states around us Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota – which have two and a half times more students than Illinois – don’t force kids to mask. I’m with you, though. These states are out of control recklessly putting kids at risk of misery and death every day. Masks work even if these states have the same outcomes as Illinois.
Speaking of data, thank you for staying silent about masking, despite the fact that Covid a very high survival rate in kids my age.
Who needs data anyway, though? We all know that it will never be safe to see anyone’s face ever again.
Thank you for not challenging this irrational fear and ineffective code policy of masking, after all the 42 billion dollars spent in research by the NIH not one dollar went towards studying the mental health aspect of kids.
I ask you: don’t give in, stay strong, stay courageous, stay quiet, and let’s keep masks on kids forever. Thank you.
Disturbingly, it is doubtful any of the educators in the room will take to heart any of the impactful words dropped by this student. Appeasement for adults over doing what’s right and best for kids? Concerns over taking the easy way out? Resentment over not seeing peoples’ faces? Compelling obedience rather than fostering critical thinking? None of it matters to these criminals.
As more long-known, yet publicly-withheld information comes to light, it is only a matter of time before the perpetrators of these vile edicts should and must be held to account. Young people have been damaged far beyond what we can measure or know. Of all the destruction to society, it is this impact on kids and students that is most damning to the ruling class. Shame on all of them that pushed this unscientific nonsense.
If there is any good to have come of this, it is that a generation of fighters will have been raised to resist government tyranny. Hopefully, this girl represents just one of the millions of young Americans who no longer trust a word of what any government leader has to say.
